In fact, family struggles have always existed in ancient and modern China and abroad. Often it is a battle of annihilation for property and power.
I believe that because of the big reshuffle and the domestic one-child policy, most children now do not know what the family struggle is all about. But in fact, in the southern coastal areas, especially in the rural areas of Guangdong and Fujian, where the policy implementation was insufficient, there were still clan struggles in the early years.
Most of the struggles are also for land like forest farms, sand factories, and construction sites. The 1990s were the craziest (everyone had the chance to play). The struggle is usually village-based. The villagers who grabbed the land began to receive dividends and everyone had a good life. Those who couldn’t grab it had to work hard. At that time, there were not many police officers, the law was not easy to enforce, and there was no military police. Therefore, political and legal means cannot solve the problem at all. Fighting is the most effective way. The side with more males usually wins the fight. (That’s how patriarchal
women come from.) Let’s start with the struggle between Hatfields and McCoys. There are similarities to the family struggle in my country, and it also feels a bit like the gangster family and the politically connected family in “Guild 2 Venice”. struggle.
The historical situation is that The Hatfields were more affluent than the McCoys and were well-connected politically.
Hatfields : Advantage, patriarch tough. Good fighting. There are many men. Lots of guns.
Weakness, too much reliance on violent means, no legal protection. The judge in the only family broke the law in front of the sheriff.
McCoys: Advantage, lawyer cousin. The United States of America is a country of law.
Weakness, few people, many bitches. The patriarchs have more faith in God and the justice of the law. Without knowing that the law is the class weapon of the wise. (The lawyer knows this very well.) The
main contradiction, the political stance, the killing of M's brother, the murder of the forest farm, the pig, the daughter, and the blood debt of the H1 brothers and the M3 sons.
The Hatfields had no one to provoke when they started out with a large and powerful private arm. Even the detectives went to their village and they dared to open fire. J even fucked two girls from M's family. The M family has been swallowing their breath. The real war started because M's 3 sons were lynched by M's family. The old McCoys had no choice but to drink every day, but the lawyer launched a fight back. Legally, a wanted order was issued to the H family, and the H family was directly defined as a gang. At this time, Tianping began to tilt towards M's house. (Become unlimited bounty hunters vs limited members of the H family.) The H family also went up the mountain to occupy the top of the mountain. Set up dark posts and patrols. The lawyer didn't even call him the Virginia version of Xiangxi Bandit Suppression. The power of the H family began to be weakened little by little. Sadly, by comparison, the old McCoys was completely free of war and completely defenseless against his family. As a result, he was almost beheaded by the H family. All the males in the family were wiped out, and the wife was beaten to the point of being insane. After the Battle of Grapepo, the H family's situation is over. Judge H looks like he sacrificed himself in exchange for a truce. (The most interesting part is the part where the lawyer teases the judge outside the cage). The old McCoys eventually ended the war because it was pointless and lost too much.
Some people say that the H family won, but if it continues, the H family is likely to be sent to prison.
Some say old McCoys is weak, but I think he's like old Hatfield, except he's helpless.
The ultimate victory is a victory for lawyers, a victory for the law. is the victory of wisdom. The lawyer's outstanding record was taken in by the big family in the next village, and he was recruited as his son-in-law.
I don't know if anyone paid attention to the whereabouts of everyone at the end. H's son Cyclops eventually became a lawyer and became a deputy sheriff. Maybe he also realized the power of legal weapons.
